How to capitalize last character of a string?

How to capitalize last character of a string?

[nix]

Hi, as the subject says, any guidance?

TEST="word"

print "${(C)TEST[1]}$TEST[2,-1]"

Capitalizes the first character but somehow I could not come up with
solution other way.

print "$TEST[1,-2]${(C)TEST[-1]}"

And if for some reason you want to capitalize the last letter of every
word in a sentence (really, when don't you want to do that?),

% TEST="this is a sentence"
% echo ${(j::)${(@Oa)${(s::)${(Cj::)${(@Oa)${(s::)TEST}}}}}}
thiS iS A sentencE

I'm not familiar with the syntax, but inferred the following. It seems
to work:

    % TEST="word"
    % print "$TEST[1,-2]${(C)TEST[-1]}"
    worD
    %

Thanks. Sorry for duplicate question (i sent earlier this same question
and some other gave a solution). It works yes.

I am really having trouble with these modifiers. Last question: How to
apply both macros (Capitalize the first and the last letter) ?

[CapitaL]

So the result would be: WorD

I'm pretty new to brace expansion myself, but by looking at your code
I figured it out:

TEST=word
print ${(C)TEST[1]}$TEST[2,-2]${(C)TEST[-1]}

output: WorD
